	<code>taylor</code> was my first-ever brand new computer.
	All other computers I&apos;ve had before this one have been second hand.
	However, when the recycling centre branded me as a problem customer because I kept bringing back machines they&apos;d sold me with issues (for example, <abbr title="digital restrictions management">DRM</abbr> that prevented Wi-Fi card replacement, built-in monitors that didn&apos;t function with alternative operating systems, et cetera) and said I couldn&apos;t bring back the next laptop they sold me no matter the problems it had, I had to find a laptop I knew would function with Debian without these basic, unresolvable issues.
	Without another recycling centre in the area, I resolved to buy a laptop with Debian pre-installed, as then I&apos;d know it&apos;d work without hardware issues that&apos;d get incorrectly blamed on my having installed my trusted operating system.
	Instead, after much debating back and forth, I instead bought a <a href="https://puri.sm/shop/librem-15/">Librem 15</a> with PureOS installed.
	PureOS is a fork of Debian, providing me with the familiarity of Debian, while also having all the source code released under reasonable licenses, providing me with the freedom of Debian.
